Steps to reproduce:

I opened a recurring event and changed it to a different time.


Actual results:

I was prompted to edit just "This Occurrence", or "All Occurrences".  The meeting has permanently moved to a different time, so I chose "All Occurrences".  This changed all of these events including ones that are in the past.  The same thing happens if a recurring event is deleted.


Expected results:

In other calendar programs, we would have a 3rd option, to make this change on "All Future Occurrences".  Otherwise, I will have to change all occurrences of this event forever.
"All Occurrences" modifies all occurrences -> correct behavior, no bug.
"All Future Occurrences" -> existing bug 320178.

You can workaround currently only by editing the recurrence rule and setting an until date that ends the repeating event at the specific date (== keep past occurrences unchanged). Afterwards create a new repeating event starting at the specific date (== the changed future occurrences).
